India is planning to gift a Dornier aircraft to Seychelles and explore trilateral cooperation involving France that will safeguard its strategic interests in the backdrop of PresidentDanny Faure’s announcement to cancel the project to jointly develop a naval base on Assumption Island ahead of his June 25 Delhi visit.
India plans to gift Seychelles a Dornier aircraft this month -- second such aircraft that could be gifted to the Indian OceanRegion, said people aware of the matter.
An Indo-French-Seychelles trilateral cooperation may safeguard India’s strategic interests in the key Indian Ocean country amid China’s growing interests in the region.
India and France joined hands in March for strategic partnership in the western part of the Indian Ocean region. The two countries share a logistic service agreement to support each other naval forces in the Indian Ocean Region. France also has strategic interests in Seychelles and recently engaged with Faure to expand French-Seychelles strategic ties.
ET has learnt that India is helping revive an old airstrip on Assumption Island along with other upgradation work.
The proposed joint project, the scrapping of which is yet to be officially communicated to the Indian defence establishment, entailed investment of $550 million in the development of an airstrip, jetty and housing infrastructure for the Seychelles Coast Guard in Assumption Island.
Bilateral Ties ::
While Faure had mentioned in his June 4 press meet that there would be no discussion on the project during his India visit – the third meet between him and PM Narendra Modi this year – the project signed in 2015 and revised in January 2018 will cast a shadow on the visit.
Experts said the project is a victim of domestic politics in Seychelles, where the opposition is not willing to compromise and has made it a controversial issue of violation of Seychelles sovereignty to pin down Faure government. However, India is approaching the issue deftly to prevent Faure’s visit getting entangled in domestic politics.
Changes in foreign secretary and principal secretary in Seychelles have slowed progress further. The biggest setback was the text of the detailed project report (DPR) being leaked on YouTube, sparking a controversy and questions over the nature of the deal.
The controversy, however, could not dent growing defence ties between India and Seychelles. In 2017, 11 Indian naval ships visited Seychelles and eight have visited Seychelles so far this year. Half of Seychelles’ military assets have been provided by India, which has trained around 70% of Seychelles’ military personnel.

India and Seychelles have signed six MoUs to further expand bilateral ties between the two sides. These include areas of naval cooperation, cybersecurity, culture, dvelopment projects among others.
The MoUs were exchanged in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Seychelles PresidentDanny Faure after the two leaders held bilateral and delegation level talks in Hyderabad House. Addressing a joint press conference with the visiting dignitary, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that his talks with President Faure were very fruitful and successful. The Prime Minister announced a line of credit worth 100 millionUSD for Seychelles.

The highly classified India-Seychelles agreement, signed during Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi’s visit to the archipelago in 2015, was leaked in March this year. The document detailed how India was developing military infrastructure on Seychelles’ Assumption Island.
The leak also included the revised India-Seychelles pact signed on January 27, texts, maps, a detailed project report, location-dimensions of a proposed airstrip, installations and videos.
Angered by the leak, the Seychelles Opposition coalition, led by Indian-born WavelJohn Charles Ramkalawan, who also intends to contest the country’s 2020 presidential election, refused to ratify the pact. The Seychelles government also ordered an inquiry into the incident.
The agreement ::
In his 2015 visit to Seychelles and Mauritius, Modi secured agreements for the joint development of Assumption Island and Agalega in Mauritius. In a speech in Seychelles, after signing the agreement, Modi said, “Our agreement today on development of infrastructure in Assumption Island gives strong boost to this partnership.” But media outlets described the two as India’s first overseas military bases and nothing was done to dispel the reports.
At the time when the agreement on Assumption Island was signed, James Michel was the Seychelles president. Danny Faure succeeded him on October 16, 2016, and in the intervening 19 months, Michel reportedly did not share details of the agreement with the opposition. India did not pursue a ratification from the Seychelles parliament either, despite knowing about the impending government change. India apparently also did little to cultivate the Seychelles coalition opposition in the new government.
While visiting India in January, Ramkalawan blamed the Seychelles government for not foreseeing constitutional roadblocks to the agreement, and for slowing down its implementation. He also reiterated that Assumption Island was not a military base for India. But he indicated that a modified agreement would possibly be ratified by the Seychelles parliament by the end of March 2018 – which eventually did not happen due to the leak.
China’s political warfare ::
Under the 2015 agreement, India was to station personnel on Assumption Island to carry out design, construction and facilities development work, as well as for operational and maintenance training. Under the modified agreement of 2018, Indian obligations include conducting hydrographic surveys, carrying out marine, aviation, communication and surveillance infrastructure work, training Seychelles defense forces, and funding the entire project. The 2018 agreement also mentions that the island will continue to be owned by Seychelles, while the facilities will be “jointly managed” by Seychelles and India.
President Faure stated in a press conference, before visiting India in June this year, that Seychelles would develop military facilities on Assumption Island on its own, and that the project with India “will not move forward.” But after India brought up the issue during Faure’s visit, Modi said at a joint press conference that the two sides had “agreed to work on the Assumption Island project based on each other’s rights.” Meanwhile, Faure said, “[The] AssumptionIsland project was discussed, we are equally engaged and will work together bearing each other’s interests.”
But the agreements signed during Faure’s visit make no mention of Assumption Island. Given the opposition’s recent stance on the deal, and with the next presidential election due in 2020, it remains to be seen if Faure can get the deal ratified in parliament.
Further, if the 2015 deal was indeed secret, observers wonder why India decided to announce the joint project at all, instead of letting Seychelles handle it. China never announced the takeover of Gwadar Port – only its development by a Chinese company was reported in foreign media. Hambantota was also swallowed gradually. China even continues to deny the extent of its role in the development of bases in Jiwani (Pakistan) and Gadhoo (Maldives). While China remains geopolitically far ahead, India couldn’t

In parliamentary systems fashioned after the Westminster system, the prime minister is the presiding and actual head of government and head of the executive branch. In such systems, the head of state or the head of state's official representative (i.e. the monarch, president, or governor-general) usually holds a largely ceremonial position, although often with reserve powers.

The prime minister is often, but not always, a member of parliament and is expected with other ministers to ensure the passage of bills through the legislature. In some monarchies the monarch may also exercise executive powers (known as the royal prerogative) that are constitutionally vested in the crown and may be exercised without the approval of parliament.

The office is not established by any constitution or law but exists only by long-established convention, which stipulates that the monarch must appoint as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber. The position of Prime Minister was not created; it evolved slowly and erratically over three hundred years due to numerous acts of Parliament, political developments, and accidents of history. The office is therefore best understood from a historical perspective. The origins of the position are found in constitutional changes that occurred during the Revolutionary Settlement (1688–1720) and the resulting shift of political power from the Sovereign to Parliament. Although the Sovereign was not stripped of the ancient prerogative powers and legally remained the head of government, politically it gradually became necessary for him or her to govern through a Prime Minister who could command a majority in Parliament.

Danny Faure

Faure was born in Kilembe Mines, Uganda. He is a graduate in political sciences from an institution in Cuba. Faure was Leader of Government Business in the National Assembly from 1993 to 1998, then served in the cabinet as Minister of Education from 1998 to 2006. He has been the Minister of Finance since 2006 in the cabinet of President James Michel. He was appointed as Vice-President in 2010, while retaining the finance portfolio.

Since taking office as Prime Minister, Modi's administration has focused on reforming and modernising India's infrastructure and government, reducing bureaucracy, encouraging increased foreign direct investment, improving national standards of health and sanitation and improving foreign relations. Modi has been appreciated for starting initiatives like Swachh Bharat Mission, Make in India and Digital India. Earlier, as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Modi's economic policies (credited with encouraging economic growth in Gujarat) have been praised, although his administration has also been criticised for failing to significantly improve the human development in the state and failing to prevent the 2002 Gujarat riots. A Hindu nationalist and a former member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Modi remains a controversial figure domestically and internationally, despite his progressivism. Known for his tech savvy image, he is the second most followed politician on social media after U.S. President Barack Obama.

Hyderabad House (restaurant)

History

The restaurant was established in 1975 by Mir Babar Ali. However the founder of the current chain of restaurants is Mir Mazharuddin who started Hyderabad House as a small take-away restaurant in 1998. His son Mir Zubair Ahmed, and Hotel Management Gold medalist, present director launched Bowl O China (Chinese Restaurant).

Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is the third largest of the world's oceanic divisions, covering approximately 20% of the water on the Earth's surface. It is bounded by Asia on the north, on the west by Africa, on the east by Australia, and on the south by the Southern Ocean or, depending on definition, by Antarctica. It is named after India. The Indian Ocean is known as Ratnākara (Sanskrit: रत्नाकर), "the mine of gems", in ancient Sanskrit literature and as Hind Mahāsāgar (Devanāgarī: हिन्द महासागर) in Hindi.

The highly classified India-Seychelles agreement, signed during Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi’s visit to the archipelago in 2015, was leaked in March this year. The document detailed how India was developing military infrastructure on Seychelles’ Assumption Island.
The leak also included the revised India-Seychelles pact signed on January 27, texts, maps, a detailed project report, location-dimensions of a proposed airstrip, installations and videos.
Angered by the leak, the Seychelles Opposition coalition, led by Indian-born WavelJohn Charles Ramkalawan, who also intends to contest the country’s 2020 presidential election, refused to ratify the pact. The Seychelles government also ordered an inquiry into the incident.
The agreement ::
In his 2015 visit to Seychelles and Mauritius, Modi secured agreements for the joint development of Assumption Island and Agalega in Mauritius. In a speech in Seychelles, after signing the agreement, Modi said, “Our agreement today on development of infrastructure in Assumption Island gives strong boost to this partnership.” But media outlets described the two as India’s first overseas military bases and nothing was done to dispel the reports.
At the time when the agreement on Assumption Island was signed, James Michel was the Seychelles president. Danny Faure succeeded him on October 16, 2016, and in the intervening 19 months, Michel reportedly did not share details of the agreement with the opposition. India did not pursue a ratification from the Seychelles parliament either, despite knowing about the impending government change. India apparently also did little to cultivate the Seychelles coalition opposition in the new government.
While visiting India in January, Ramkalawan blamed the Seychelles government for not foreseeing constitutional roadblocks to the agreement, and for slowing down its implementation. He also reiterated that Assumption Island was not a military base for India. But he indicated that a modified agreement would possibly be ratified by the Seychelles parliament by the end of March 2018 – which eventually did not happen due to the leak.
China’s political warfare ::
Under the 2015 agreement, India was to station personnel on Assumption Island to carry out design, construction and facilities development work, as well as for operational and maintenance training. Under the modified agreement of 2018, Indian obligations include conducting hydrographic surveys, carrying out marine, aviation, communication and surveillance infrastructure work, training Seychelles defense forces, and funding the entire project. The 2018 agreement also mentions that the island will continue to be owned by Seychelles, while the facilities will be “jointly managed” by Seychelles and India.
President Faure stated in a press conference, before visiting India in June this year, that Seychelles would develop military facilities on Assumption Island on its own, and that the project with India “will not move forward.” But after India brought up the issue during Faure’s visit, Modi said at a joint press conference that the two sides had “agreed to work on the Assumption Island project based on each other’s rights.” Meanwhile, Faure said, “[The] AssumptionIsland project was discussed, we are equally engaged and will work together bearing each other’s interests.”
But the agreements signed during Faure’s visit make no mention of Assumption Island. Given the opposition’s recent stance on the deal, and with the next presidential election due in 2020, it remains to be seen if Faure can get the deal ratified in parliament.
Further, if the 2015 deal was indeed secret, observers wonder why India decided to announce the joint project at all, instead of letting Seychelles handle it. China never announced the takeover of Gwadar Port – only its development by a Chinese company was reported in foreign media. Hambantota was also swallowed gradually. China even continues to deny the extent of its role in the development of bases in Jiwani (Pakistan) and Gadhoo (Maldives). While China remains geopolitically far ahead, India couldn’t

India is planning to gift a Dornier aircraft to Seychelles and explore trilateral cooperation involving France that will safeguard its strategic interests in the backdrop of PresidentDanny Faure’s announcement to cancel the project to jointly develop a naval base on Assumption Island ahead of his June 25 Delhi visit.
India plans to gift Seychelles a Dornier aircraft this month -- second such aircraft that could be gifted to the Indian OceanRegion, said people aware of the matter.
An Indo-French-Seychelles trilateral cooperation may safeguard India’s strategic interests in the key Indian Ocean country amid China’s growing interests in the region.
India and France joined hands in March for strategic partnership in the western part of the Indian Ocean region. The two countries share a logistic service agreement to support each other naval forces in the Indian Ocean Region. France also has strategic interests in Seychelles and recently engaged with Faure to expand French-Seychelles strategic ties.
ET has learnt that India is helping revive an old airstrip on Assumption Island along with other upgradation work.
The proposed joint project, the scrapping of which is yet to be officially communicated to the Indian defence establishment, entailed investment of $550 million in the development of an airstrip, jetty and housing infrastructure for the Seychelles Coast Guard in Assumption Island.
Bilateral Ties ::
While Faure had mentioned in his June 4 press meet that there would be no discussion on the project during his India visit – the third meet between him and PM Narendra Modi this year – the project signed in 2015 and revised in January 2018 will cast a shadow on the visit.
Experts said the project is a victim of domestic politics in Seychelles, where the opposition is not willing to compromise and has made it a controversial issue of violation of Seychelles sovereignty to pin down Faure government. However, India is approaching the issue deftly to prevent Faure’s visit getting entangled in domestic politics.
Changes in foreign secretary and principal secretary in Seychelles have slowed progress further. The biggest setback was the text of the detailed project report (DPR) being leaked on YouTube, sparking a controversy and questions over the nature of the deal.
The controversy, however, could not dent growing defence ties between India and Seychelles. In 2017, 11 Indian naval ships visited Seychelles and eight have visited Seychelles so far this year. Half of Seychelles’ military assets have been provided by India, which has trained around 70% of Seychelles’ military personnel.

After Seychelles faux pas, India must learn from China

The highly classified India-Seychelles agreement, signed during Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi’s visit to the archipelago in 2015, was leaked in March this year. The document detailed how India was developing military infrastructure on Seychelles’ Assumption Island.
The leak also included the revised India-Seychelles pact signed on January 27, texts, maps, a detailed project report, location-dimensions of a proposed airstrip, installations and videos.
Angered by the leak, the Seychelles Opposition coalition, led by Indian-born WavelJohn Charles Ramkalawan, who also intends to contest the country’s 2020 presidential election, refused to ratify the pact. The Seychelles government also ordered an inquiry into the incident.

In a speech in Seychelles, after signing the agreement, Modi said, “Our agreement today on development of infrastructure in Assumption Island gives strong boost to this partnership.” But media outlets described the two as India’s first overseas military bases and nothing was done to dispel the reports.

In parliamentary systems fashioned after the Westminster system, the prime minister is the presiding and actual head of government and head of the executive branch. In such systems, the head of state or the head of state's official representative (i.e. the monarch, president, or governor-general) usually holds a largely ceremonial position, although often with reserve powers.

The prime minister is often, but not always, a member of parliament and is expected with other ministers to ensure the passage of bills through the legislature. In some monarchies the monarch may also exercise executive powers (known as the royal prerogative) that are constitutionally vested in the crown and may be exercised without the approval of parliament.
